Wait...As I went in to work today, the wind felt different. There was a coolness in the air. I stood for a moment and listened to the wind in the trees. The sun shone brightly, but did not burn the land. Some clouds drift by, the leaves rustle, and the breeze causes me to...shiver. I actually shivered! Well, Autumn may have been approaching the door last time we looked, but look again. The season has slipped through the door when we were not looking and just about made itself at home. Many are lamenting the end of summer and the warm days. Not me.
I know Autumn so well. She is an old friend that has come to visit. Not an uninvited intruder, but a welcome friend who lets herself in and puts the kettle on. Even now, with just the first signs of Autumn upon us, I can feel my mind awakening. The heavy, lethargic trance that summer put me in has been broken. I am recovering and finding my old inspirations. The creativity will begin to flow again.
It is time for a change. So, I am grateful to see Autumn again. She is a dear friend to gently stir me from my days of napping in the sun. She brings cool days and bountiful harvests. She beckons me to a cozy table to share a pot of tea and says "Long time. Let's talk."
Yes. Let's talk.
